1)#http://uk.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUKTRE49I2BF20081019

Background:

Last week, Pink kept her own at #1, as did Kings of Leon at #2. Oasis, who were seen as main contenders for #1 some days ago, are now sitting at #16. The Sugababes are up to #3, and Kaiser Chiefs entered at #5. The rest of the UK top 10 is now made up of american acts.

UK-based M.I.A.'s roaring US hit, "Paper Planes", is finally getting a brittish release. Also out this week: a new single from X-Factor winner Leon Jackson, "Don't Call This Love", "Up" from Saturdays, a five-piece girl group that includes S Club 8 alumni, Kanye West's "Love Lockdown", and "Be The One" from The Ting Tings. And don't forget to look out for Snow Patrol: download numbers are expected to boost their new single ("Take Back The City") right into the top 10.
